We study the problem of minimizing the diameter of a graph by adding k shortcut edges, for speeding up communication in an existing network design. We develop constant-factor appro...
The world wide web has a wealth of information that is related to almost any text classification task. This paper presents a method for mining the web to improve text classificati...
Finding the sparsest solution for an under-determined linear system of equations D = s is of interest in many applications. This problem is known to be NP-hard. Recent work studie...
— Many real-world applications have problems when learning from imbalanced data sets, such as medical diagnosis, fraud detection, and text classification. Very few minority clas...
Given a universe U of n elements and a weighted collection S of m subsets of U, the universal set cover problem is to a-priori map each element u ∈ U to a set S(u) ∈ S contain...
